The Golden Age Foundation thanks shareholders for their participation in the Ralphs and Amazon Smile programs. Participation in the two programs contributes financial support that helps GAF continue to provide free programs such as the shredding service, mobility aid loans, the tax preparation and many others throughout the year. Financial support, including general donations helped the GAF provide over 40,000 face masks to LWers and over $80,000 to Meals on Wheels, which provided meals to shareholders who were unable to prepare or shop on their own.

During the last quarter, GAF received $1,442.87 from Ralphs and $315.51 from Amazon Smile. The Amazon Smile represented a milestone. For the first time since the program began, the GAF received more than $300 in a quarter.

Both the Ralphs and Amazon Smile programs donate money to nonprofits at no additional cost to the customer.
